If I ask you about the fitness guru in your life, you probably don’t need any time to think of who they are. These are the loved ones who inspire you to happily join a gym, sign up for every 5K in town, or begin their day with a rigorous workout. While no two exercise buffs will be the exact same, it’s always nice to have a starting point that works no matter their interest. This fitness gift guide is dedicated to all of the friends and family members who don’t need to make exercise a resolution because they live it every day.
Therapy Massager
What can I say that hasn’t already been said about Theragun? Even if you’re not a professional athlete, a deep massage can do such wonders for your body and mind. This Mini Percussive Therapy Massager is small enough to fit in any gym bag and can help beat tension or knots on the fly.
Sports Earbuds
I’m someone who has to listen to music during a workout. It doesn’t matter if it’s a run, a spin class, or a relaxing yoga session. Music helps me keeping pushing forward. These Sports Earbuds from Bose are specially designed for even the most high-performance of workouts. With water-repellant speakers and 5 hours of battery life, these little guys are with you for the long haul.
Fitness Smartwatch
I know so many who swear by their Apple Watch, but that’s just not something I’ve been able to get myself into. I value my time away from devices too much. Instead, you can track all of your workout essentials with this Smartwatch, at a fraction of the price. Steps, calories, and mileage are just the beginning, all while synching up with your phone to save the data.
Weighted Bangles
Weighing just a pound each, the bangle set can be added to nearly any workout or just worn around the house. Bala offers an entire line of sleek tools to really up their training. Simply pick a favorite color, and you can gift a complete set!
Running Shoes
To me, this is the ultimate athletic Christmas gift! There have been spans of time, where I ask for a new pair of running shoes for back-to-back birthdays and holidays. APL is one of the most comfortable brands you can find, plus they look so chic! These sneakers may very well become your go-to for workouts, errands, and everything in between.
Gingham Crop Tank and Bike Shorts
It probably comes as no surprise, but I simply love gingham! I’ve had my eye on this baby blue tank and bike shorts set for a while. I actually just ordered these for myself and can’t wait to show off at my next spin class. If you know your loved one has a preference for full-length leggings vs. bike shorts, no worries! That’s an option to shop too!
Clean Eating Cookbook
Healthy living not only takes place at the gym, but in the kitchen as well! This Clean Eating Cookbook is filling with 130 recipes that taste great, make you feel good, and are simple to make. Just throw the ingredients in a slow cooker and you can forget about it while you work, exercise, or simply live your life!
Smart Jump Rope
Sometimes I truly marvel how far technology has come! This Smart Jump Rope reminds me of the days when I would play with a Skip-It at recess. This 21st century version tracks your exercise data, programs your workout, and even lets you compete with friends. Because jump roping is a great core exercise, you’ll feel results in no time at all!
Mineral Salt Soaks
Even the most in-shape people need a moment to relax. After a particularly grueling workout, there’s nothing more satisfying than a long shower or bubble bath. The Lavender Honey in this aromatherapeutic soak will instantly put you at ease and smells fantastic! Feel free to take as long as you need to with your self-care.
Self-Cleaning Water Bottle
If we’re being honest, I’m very guilty of leaving my water bottle in the car or workout bag for days, even weeks, at a time. While that’s not the best of habits, this Self-Cleaning Water Bottle from LARQ can at least give me peace of mind. The patented technology uses UV-C LED light to eliminate nearly 100% of viruses and bacteria in just 60 seconds. Plus with the double-insulation, your water can stay ice cold during the sweatiest of workouts.
Gingham Yoga Mat
Again, I’m back on the gingham, but can you really blame me? With this design, you’ll have the cutest yoga mat in the studio. More importantly, it has no-slip backing and 6mm of thickness for extra comfort. Combine with the gingham tank and shorts set to be perfectly coordinated. The only thing that’s missing is a gingham water bottle. Oh wait! It’s right here!
Sports Detergent
Properly washing all of your exercise gear can sometimes seem like a workout in itself. Because they have a special fabric, they deserve special treatment. I’ve long been a fan of the Laundress to keep all of my clothes looking their best. That’s especially true for their Sport Detergent. You can also tell this company really cares because they use plant-derived ingredients, have 100% recyclable packaging, and never test their products on animals. Feel good about what you gift!
And just like the fitness guru in your life is shopped for. I hope you found the 12 picks in this gift guide helpful and inspiring. At an entire spectrum of price points, there’s something for everyone. Maybe you’ll even buy something for yourself to start the new year on the right foot!
Love from Florida,
